Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 699

Chapter 699 Total Annihilation

Bailey simply rolled her eyes at him.

The surface of the sea is filled with frozen ice in this weather. Does he really think I'm made of steel? Even if we set that aside, there's no way I can swim to the ship in my current condition. This kid is way too naive.

“Forget it. It seems that her time hasn't come yet. If God wants to keep her alive, going against His will would just land me in trouble.”

Only then did Simon heave a sigh of relief.

I'm willing to do anything as long as she doesn't jump into the sea.

“Bailey, the wind in strong outside here. Why don't we go back down?”

When a thought struck Bailey, she asked the man in black, “I'm sure you have checked the surveillance feeds. Did you see my fa—I mean Old Mr. Shurmer?”

The man shook his head as he replied, “They destroyed the surveillance cameras before they left. If you really want to know, you'll have to fix the system first.”

Bailey began walking toward the stairs. “Bring me to the surveillance room. I need to be certain if Sofie took Old Mr. Shurmer with her.”

It would be big trouble if she did. Not only would our previous agreement be annulled, but she would also use that old fogey to blackmail us into accepting her demands. By then, she would have to power to manipulate us at will.

Half an hour later, Artemis and Zeke finally arrived.

The sight of Bailey watching the surveillance feeds unharmed brought a sense of relief to both of them.

Thank God she's fine. Otherwise, we would have to be tormented again.

When she saw both men panting at the door, Bailey broke into an indiscernible smile. “How does it feel to be tricked? This is the price you have to pay.”

Artemis walked up to her and asked, “What are you looking at? Are you trying to find out who's helping Sofie behind the scenes?”

Bailey shook her head. “The enemy is extremely careful and won't leave any tracks. There's no way I can tell just by looking at the surveillance feeds. Instead, I'm worried that Sofie would take the old fogey with her. That's why I'm trying to find him from the recordings.”

Jolted to attention by her words, Zeke strode to her side as he asked, “Did you manage to find him? We would be in big trouble if she did kidnap the old man.”

Bailey pushed the laptop forward before leaning back into the chair. With her fingers massaging her forehead, she answered, “There's no sign of him anywhere, including during the boarding process. All I saw was Sofie and Zoey escaping.”

Just as Zeke was about to comment, Artemis' phone suddenly rang.

After he answered the call, Artemis' expression darkened when he heard the report from the other end of the line. “Are you sure he's at Inferno Hall?”

After exchanging a few more words, Artemis ended the call with a tense look on his face.

It was then that Bailey sprang to her feet.

Given how well she knew Artemis, she could tell from his reaction that something terrible had occurred.

And now, their biggest concern was Steven's safety.

“Do you know where that old man is?”

Artemis nodded. “He's at Inferno Hall. Based on my spy's report, Sofie is in cahoots with its leader.”

Inferno Hall?

She had heard of the name before. It belonged to a powerful organization that was based in Hallsbay. Therefore, the fact that Sofie was working with them didn't come as a surprise.
